    Heard something interesting during a hospital tour.

    Every newborn I have seen has swirl marks and holograms. Don't settle for the DISO (Doctor Installed Swirl Option)!

    Video editing and uploading: Need some help!

    If I had the coin and the need, a Mac is definitely the way to go for vid editing. So many plug ins (Magic Bullet is sweet), super fast, etc. The PC vid editors are indeed resource hogs so you may want to upgrade the PC or use the built in Movie Maker. It gets the job done but is limited of...

    Video editing and uploading: Need some help!

    Sony Vegas is a really good, simple consumer based editing program. The learning curve isn't too steep and its affordable as compared to some Adobe software. You can make some really nice videos with effects. Here is an example of the things you can do...

    Before and After

    That's a steal! Of course there are some catches I have learned. Labor of course but the core is where the manufacturer can stick it to ya. If your core is not to their standards then expect to pay 3-5k more. That's for Porsche but sure most are similar. Sent via telepathy.

    Before and After

    Porsche will not do anything for a car so far out of warranty. It's a 2000. I would buy another Porsche tomorrow. This is my third one and the first with a problem. Mechanical things break. That's the way it goes. These are really reliable engines and only a small percentage fail like this. If...

    Before and After

    I didn't take it well when it happened. When the car died I was hoping it was electrical. I put a wrench on the crank and it didn't budge. Frozen solid. But, a few days of talking with the experts calmed me down and a somewhat affordable solution was put together. I will keep it for a bit longer...

    Before and After

    My suspicions are that the intermediate shaft bearing failed. It is a known issue in these engines from 98-2008. Porsche finally addressed it by not having that part from 09 forward. Funny thing is, I was going to upgrade that part in December when I did the clutch. Too late. It can also be a...

    Before and After

    Before: headed to Daytona International Speedway last Saturday. Life was good: After: headed home from the gym Tuesday. Motor blown. Life not so good: Not sure exactly what happened to the motor but it was catastrophic. The crank is frozen which is a really bad sign. The car is leaving for...

    **Random photos of anything... (that YOU have taken)**

    Here is one from Daytona on 10-6-12. Those rain clouds made for an interesting day. Lots of sheet metal and fiberglass got destroyed. Spin fest on a very tough track.

    My Autocross/Track Addiction.

    I didn't get a chance to do the Autocross this weekend. I got busy working with the local clubs that came in for some parade laps around Daytona. We had over 80 Porsche's show up for charity runs around the track...on the flat only. Driving on the 31 degree banking is not for the faint of heart...

    My Autocross/Track Addiction.

    I track my 996 about every other month. Roebling Road, Palm Beach, Homestead, Road Atlanta and others. It's an addiction for sure. I am planning on gutting the 996 and prepping it for either SCCA or Porsche Club Racing. One thing I have never done is an Autocross. I will be doing my first...

    Cessna 172RG Looking like new again!

    Great work! She looks fantastic. Like many pilots, I trained in a 172. Very forgiving aircraft and a joy to fly. Buffing one is not for the faint of heart and I applaud your efforts and great results.

    Same thing happened to me a few months ago. I was shaking in my boots! Ha! My reaction was to PM SeaJay's and have a good laugh about it. Sent via telepathy.

    anyone ever had their car bought back by the manufacturer?

    Impala indeed. I was test driving a new Chevy Caprice law enforcement vehicle the same day I posted. Must have been on my mind. Sent via telepathy.

    Buying a car online vs at a dealership

    I purchase most of my cars online. Good communications is key. Get as many detailed photographs as you can if you are not able to see the car in person. Ask for specific shots if needed. A very thorough pre purchase inspection through an independent shop. I bought my latest 911 in Dallas. Flew...
